It sounds to me like she was sexually harassing him.
I am not bi, but I wonder if bisexual people didn’t get the worst name for their sexuality. Because I suspect that most of them simply don’t care about the other person’s gender. I think they’re attracted to the person themselves, regardless of gender. And now that people accept that there are more than two genders, the “bi” in “bisexual”, meaning “two” seems overly specific.
But anyways, back to the example at hand, assuming that his type of “bi” means that he cares about other stuff more than gender, it’s hard to imagine a worse way to come onto him than to do what that lady did. “I have a terrible personality, now let’s see that hard dick.”
Not an expert, but I’ve always understood that what you’re describing is pansexual. I’ve understood the bisexual is general attraction to both men and women. Pansexual is attraction to any person.
Again, give or take any given person’s own chosen labels and attractions that might vary.
I always describe pansexuality as “bisexuality with more politics and an ugly flag”. The basic idea is the same (not being attracted only to one gender) but pansexuality is more explicit about there being more than two genders and liking most or all of them.

I’ve heard that. I’ve heard bi used to mean you’re attracted to more than one gender but not all. Also heard and used it interchangeably with pan.
I say this as someone who’s pan and called themselves bi for most of their life.
So long as you can communicate the sorta people you wanna fuck I think that’s the important part.
It seems like, while labels are important for communication, they are just unable to capture all of the nuance when it comes to sexuality and gender.

I’m sure not all bi people are, but most of the ones I’ve known are also into enbies.
